Last summer, Dartmouth College in America saw an unusual sight - British university students talking about Jesus. Dartmouth, located in the scenic hills of New Hampshire, is one of the prestigious Ivy League universities, and therefore attracts top-level students.
"We were out of our depth," says Duncan Moore, leader of the British team. "And going on the Dartmouth green to sit next to people and interact about Jesus, this is not a British thing to do. We put ourselves in a place where faith was the only option."
Duncan and his team were there due to a partnership with Campus Crusade for Christ at the Ivy League schools, which last year sent a STINT team to Oxford University. "We've been blessed by the partnership," says Duncan," and we wanted to be a blessing in return."
Nearly every day, Duncan and his team talked to students about the Lord. Sometimes they used a survey. In response to the question, "What three words would you use to describe your life?" one atheist replied "paralysis of integrity." Another guy had just finished reading Nietzsche, and was about to read the Bible, and then Sartre, to try and work out the meaning of life.
By the end of the project, Duncan and his team had fallen in love with Dartmouth, and he hopes to return next summer. "Dartmouth has so much potential for sending people to world missions," he points out. "God has invested a lot in the students—they have intelligence, leadership, finances. And the Scriptures say that to whom much is given, much is required."
From the Yanks
"We had a delightful time with the British team," says Chris West, director of Campus Crusade for Christ Dartmouth. "One of their most significant accomplishments was the impact on the Christian community. Dartmouth has scores of Christian students, but few have a passion for evangelism. The British modelled a passion for outreach. They did not let inhibition and fear deter them. They showed how natural it could be to talk with others about the Lord, and I tip my hat to them! It probably helped, too, that they were foreigners with charming accents."
Koreans Join In
"If we are serious about reaching London students," says Geoff Shave, of the London university ministry, "We need a multi-cultural team. And the Lord has given us a partnership with Korea."
Koreans are focused people – they love the Lord, they're passionate about prayer, and they're eager to share the gospel. Furthermore, Korea Campus Crusade wants to send 50 percent of its university staff to other countries.
"We didn't have plans to send missionaries to Western Europe," explains Seung Ho Yang, leader of the Korean team in London. "We thought Europe was Christian. But after we heard Andy Atkins [leader of the British university ministry], we realized there was a desperate need for workers, and we sent to meet the need."
But English is quite different from Korean, and culturally, one must approach "Britishers," as the Koreans say, quite differently from a fellow Korean. One effective approach involves discipling Korean Christian students, who have better English, and can more easily evangelise non-Koreans.
But the Koreans persevere, and God blesses. "I had two hours free after English class," says STINTer Cheol Gyu Bak, "so I went out to share the gospel. I met a Britisher post-graduate student and read the Knowing God Personally booklet to him, and he accepted Jesus Christ."
